I'm not sure if that first time was at one of New York's no longer existing vintage houses like Carnegie Hall Cinema, The Regency, or the Thalia - it could have also been at Harvard Square Cinema in college. To Catch a Thief was with the Ragazzo - yes! We always used to do that with my grandmother's diaries too. She kept them from her youth pretty much until she died and she had them all (brought them with her from Germany). When we would wonder about some birthday dinner in 1975 or a play they saw in the 1950s, my grandmother would just look it up and then tell us - yes and it was raining that day, and.... You chroniclers - so useful!Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05511240514127283024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-36564390548788251892008-05-23T08:46:00.000-04:002008-05-23T08:46:00.000-04:00This is the good thing about having a blog where y...This is the good thing about having a blog where you blab about your own life.<BR/><BR/>http://www.sheilaomalley.com/archives/005608.html<BR/><BR/>We went to 'ino and then went to Notorious! I had never seen it on the big screen before and it was so fun - infinitely more suspenseful than just watching it in the privacy of my apartment.<BR/><BR/>I think on the To Catch a Thief night the Ragazzo was with us, if I am remembering correctly.Sheila O'Malleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859697259996394827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-71476929454003292842008-05-23T08:43:00.000-04:002008-05-23T08:43:00.000-04:00Oh yes, To Catch a Thief - that was so fun!!I thou...Oh yes, To Catch a Thief - that was so fun!!<BR/><BR/>I thought we saw Notorious together, too ...
